The music is presented in crisp music notation . This book and CD will help you to learn the tunes quickly.
The CD, played by Melanie De Bonneville & Allan Alexander gives the musician the advantage of being able to hear how these songs can be played and will make the learning process easier. This is a high quality Digital recording (DDD). In addition to helping the player become familiar with the music, it will also be a source of listening pleasure. You can also turn down either channel (violin or guitar) and play along with the CD.
If you play the violin, this is a must have book/cd collection. These medieval pieces sound great on the violin. They also lay right under the fingers. This book is made for musicians, by musicians. The book comes with a CD and the guitar and violin are separate tracks. You can turn the violin totally off and play with the cd. There are no "Tick Ticks" before the pieces, instead there are two measures of intro with the guitar, so you can sit and listen to the CD and become familiar with the sounds of the pieces without it sounding like a learning CD. There are chords with the music and at the end of the book, there are examples of what the guitar is doing for many of the tunes in both tablature and notation. These tunes sound terrific, and are a great addition to any repertoire. You can use them for any kind of gig, or you can try doing some medieval fairs, medieval feasts or medieval weddings. I know the music. These pieces are particulary suited for the sound of the violin. I love playing them. The book is beautiful and scored professionally. These are great pieces. Many have variations to make them longer. Winder wie ist is an example of a piece with a variation added.
